Cobweb

Covered with shiny beads of early morning dew
Out sparkling a d grade flawless diamond!
Busy spider has spun gossamer threads
Web builder extraordinaire is poised
Ever ready to pounce on unwary
Bugs which she will wrap in silk for her dinner!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/27/2019 7:09:00 PM So beautifully done, Jan. I can relate as I have a spider who builds an enormous web between the porch and the garage every October. I let no one touch it. When it has raindrops on it, it sparkles like the prettiest diamond in the world. Love this one! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 3/27/2019 7:23:00 PM Oh how wonderful Caren:-) hugs jan xx
